3 Kitchen Decorating Tips for a Modern Hip Monochromatic Theme

Tip # 1 – Contrast

Black and white are the most contrasting colors yet they fit and match each other so well. Both colors highlight each other in a way where you can never go wrong. Applying these contrasts in perfect balance can change the entire feel of your kitchen.

Black has a more modern flare to it while more white has a homier feel. Find the balance of contrast like yin and yang. The two colors might differ strikingly but once you find your middle line of mixes, you’d definitely achieve the look you’re gunning for.

Tip # 2 – Material

Most commonly used material for cabinets are wood and glass. Wooden cabinets are more commonly used than glass ones because of its ability to be modern and traditional at the same time. On the other hand, if you want a sleek look, black or white glass cabinets will definitely get the job done. Wood and glass makes an excellent combo is if your cabinet doors have black wood lining and white tinted glass in the mid.

Tip # 3 – Highlight

The key to having black and/or white kitchen cabinets is how you highlight them. Pick the right color for your counter tops, walls, floors, trimmings and lights. Matching these properly creates the bold, chic and sleek vibe instead of a dark and depressing mood. For example, black cabinets pop out when you have a touch of red in the room either on your walls, furniture or lights. If you have a mixture of black and white, stainless steel lights will look absolutely stunning.

Using the perfect balance of black and white on your cabinets, it is not difficult to incorporate contrasting feels to your kitchen look. Subtle and vibrant elements can help channel and highlight your personality.
